Mike, this device is used on wargraves to the battalion, The circle and small cross I think is a sovereigns orb, but not sure on the the crossed line part, Kevin

Kevin,
That's very interesting - I've never seen its like before although the design is vaguely reminiscent of the World War 1 formation sign of 61 (South Midland) Division a conjoined LXI.

Caught my interest this one, I hope someone can come up with the full answer, I wonder if it is a religious symbol from a church in a London parish where the battalion comes from, or if the crossed lines are a stylised supporter for the orb?
